201--Speech

This week you are going to work on a speech of invitataion. Your audience is your parent or guardian who will be coming for you next weekend. I'd like you to use Ethose, Pathos, and Logos to convince them everything is all right, you are prefectly safe, you are learning and becoming a productive member of society, and there is absolutely no drama going on in this school. [By the time she finishes saying this, she's laughing--her hand over her mouth]

Ok, Go. You may discuss it with a partner.

301--Parents and Guardians

OK gang, we've been discussing influence and trust and power and all that shi--stuff. Now we need to talk about communication. How does one speak to their parent or guardian? What information do you give freely, and what do you hide? How does your body language speak for you? How does it differ from peer group relationships? Is there any difference between a "chosen" parent figure and a blood related parent? Let's dig deep, kids. Go.

"Mom?" Parker blinks at him for a second, then gets it. "Oh, Sydney's not my mom. He's -- uh, I guess he's kind of an honorary uncle. He was ... close, with my mother." She shrugs, tracing her signature without looking at Lee. "And he calls me Parker because he respects that that's what I want to be called."

Lee feels awkward and just nods and doesn't ask questions. "So... I think we did pretty good on the assignment."

"Wanna get a cup of coffee, Parker?"

Parker is utterly relieved he doesn't ask. "Cocoa. Still trying to cut back on the caffiene." She smiles suddenly, a sun-burst of glee. "If I make it 'til midnight without smoking? Crichton owes me twenty bucks."

"Ah, John. That sounds like him. Shall we?" He offers his arm in a gentleman-like manner.

She grins at him, because it's impossible not to respond to Lee when he's being proper. "Let's shall."
